An Overview of a Reunited Ireland

Irish reunification demands courageous compromise from political entities on both sides of the border, as well as a reckoning by the British government with the lingering shadows of its colonial legacy.

If the Irish people, across all traditions, were empowered to examine the full spectrum of reunification options, they would see that the proposed Federal Parliamentary Republic for a reunited Ireland, advocated on this website, is the only option that guarantees the right to equality, unrestricted regional control, and regional representation in a national government.

The proposed federation would include three administrative regions: 1) the Ulster Region, covering the nine counties of Ulster; 2) the Connacht/Munster Region, covering the eleven counties of Munster and Connacht; and 3) the Leinster Region, covering the twelve counties of Leinster.  Combining Munster and Connacht into a single federal region would promote economic fairness and political balance, compensating for what would be lacking in a standalone Connacht and, to a lesser extent, in a standalone Munster.

A new constitution, rooted in equality and pluralism, would enshrine the division of powers between national and regional governments and assert the nation's supreme authority over all institutions and residents within its borders.
